Printed on border: "Half-tone plate engraved by H.C. Merrill." "This bridge, which carries the Croton Aqueduct across the Harlem River, was finished in 1848 and is still the noblest civic monument of its class in the United States. Its high arches spring from fourteen massive piers. Besides carrying the aqueduct at the level of the steep banks, it serves as a footway connection between the two shores."
